Answer 1

Active and Passive

→ Active voice: A sentence in the active voice has a subject that actively performs the action on the object. For example:

• The teacher asks the students.
• I cook the dish.

Sentence structure: subject + verb + object.

→ Passive voice: A sentence in the passive voice denotes that an object undergoes an action rather than a subject performs the action. For example:

• The students are asked by the teacher.
• The dish is cooked by me.

Sentence structure: object + (auxiliary + past participle of the verb) + subject.

As we are given to fill in the blanks with simple present tense of the verbs, the sentence structure of each sentence in passive voice will be:

object + (is/am/are + past participle of the verb) + subject.

2. Dengue is spread by mosquitoes.
